Nevin Al Sukari - Sana'a - YAKUTSK (Russia), Dec 5 — Arctic weather enfolded swathes of Russia today, with temperatures in the wilds of Siberia falling to minus 58 degrees Celsius.
Yakutsk, one of the world’s coldest cities which lies some 5,000km east of Moscow, was covered in freezing clouds and fog, drone footage showed.
“I specially came here to Yakutsk to experience such weather — so I am lucky as in December you don’t usually get it,” said Danila, whose beard, hat and scarf were caked in ice.
“I am actually not that cold as I prepared properly,” he said. “If I had not got the right clothes, I would be frozen in minutes.”

He said that the extreme temperatures made his coat much stiffer, while his phone lost charge within minutes. Two pairs of gloves were essential, as well as layers of clothes.
Temperatures in parts of the Sakha Republic, a vast region a little smaller than India that is located in the northeastern part of Siberia, went below minus 55 overnight.
In Oymyakon, a settlement in Sakha, the temperature was minus 58°C on Tuesday. Weather forecasters said that would feel like minus 63°C given the humidity and wind.

At the market in Yakutsk, fish were sold deep frozen, packed in dozens of boxes at the market. No freezer was needed. The saleswomen were muffled in large fur hats.
“It is cold,” said one resident, Pyotr. “You need to just have the right quality clothes and then everything will be okay. The main thing is to keep moving so your blood circulates.” — Reuters
